Chapter 20 Soy Sauce Recipe
This Zhu family really has a big appetite, and actually wants their soy sauce recipe!Su Jin frowned. She was alone and weak, and if something was seen, she couldn't keep it. This was a lesson, and she must remember it firmly. She must not be so reckless in the future, so as not to bring harm to her family and herself. unnecessary disaster.

"What did the Zhu family say?"

Han Yu was leaning against the door frame, staring at Liu Yi, and replied when she heard her question: "The old man of the Zhu family told my father that as long as you hand over the soy sauce recipe, you will release Uncle Su, otherwise you will go to the government to sue you, you know Yes, the crime of stealing other people's secret recipes can be light or serious. If you are really convicted of this kind of crime, you will have no credibility in the future and will be looked down upon by others; go out."

so serious?Su Jin didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In this era, there is still a sense of property rights protection, but it is used by bad people to deal with good people. Alas, it is really not a good thing for a powerless person like her.

"What should we do? Jin'er, why don't we hand over the soy sauce recipe? Nothing is more important than your father!" Liu Shi knew that her daughter, although usually acting like a spoiled child, was actually very determined. , and she also thought up the soy sauce, so I went to see her first.

The three Su Tang siblings also looked at Su Jin, and Liu Yi also followed their gazes, only to see Su Jin bluntly said: "In my heart, our family is more important than anything else. Money is something outside of us. You can still earn more after you get it." At this point, the topic changed, "However, I am not willing to just give our family's secret recipe to someone like the Zhu family for nothing."

When Han Yu heard the words, he immediately answered, "What are you going to do?" He seemed to raise his arms and yelled as soon as she shouted a slogan, and then winked at her, "Let's go and tie up the old man of the Zhu family? I can't get used to it for a long time, he is not a good thing like his son, he has eight concubines, tsk tsk, Mrs. Zhu looks fierce, even the old man can't control her, so I tied him up, and by the way You can ask for a ransom or something, and if you take the money, you can go to Baihualou to have a look, I heard that there is a new oiran there, who is beautiful and beautiful..."

The Su family looked at him contemptuously, but he didn't feel it, and looked at his hands with his fan, looking like he was yearning for spring when the spring night was short.Su Jin picked up the teacup on the table and threw it, but he caught it, "I want to go back to your house to do it daydreaming, my cousin is honest, my brother is still young, don't teach them badly!"

Five days later, on the way from Qingshi Town to Liushu Village, an ox cart creaked forward. Su Jin sat on the side of the cart dangling back and forth with her legs hanging down. Su Tang and Brother Shuo sat around the willow village. There were chattering and laughing around Shi, but Su Wenshan was a little depressed.

Su Shuang saw it, so she sat next to her third sister, "Is it necessary to sell our steamed stuffed bun shop? I don't feel good looking at my father." The third sister offered the soy sauce recipe to Liu Zhixian, and Liu The magistrate is also greedy for political achievements, thinking that his term of office is coming soon, but he has no political achievements at all. It just so happens that there is such a secret recipe. If he offers it, he can flatter his boss. They promised to let their father go.Who would have thought that the boss was an upright person, and after getting it, he announced it to the public. Now that soy sauce is no longer a secret recipe of any company, everyone knows it, so there is no benefit to be gained.

Su Jin looked at her seriously, "Second Sister, I'm also a little bit reluctant, after all, we've lived there for so many years, but do you think the Zhu family will just let us go?" It's a piece of cake for Yao Mozi to come and make things difficult for her family. She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that Zhu Qi will hit her big sister again, so leaving temporarily would be the best choice.

"But if we don't have a living, what will we live on in the future?" This is what Dad is worried about.

"Don't worry, don't we have the money to sell the steamed stuffed bun shop, and the money given by the county magistrate Liu, which is nearly 200 taels. We can think of other livelihoods in the future, but we still want to open the steamed stuffed bun shop. After a while It’s not impossible after a while!” Su Jin said with a smile, she had already asked Cousin Liu Yi, there are still a lot of sunflowers on the hill behind Liu’s Village, and that hill is also unowned, she has already planned to take the Shantou has bought it, but it has not been discussed with the family.

Su Wenshan's eyes lit up when he heard it in front, "Can we go back to Qingshi Town to open a steamed stuffed bun shop?"

"Father, I said you can't pursue a little bit? Let's go back and open a big restaurant, haha..." Su Jin joked, the laughter echoed on the small road in the morning, and the passers-by on the road all looked back, with bright smiles on their faces Facing the brilliant spring light in the spring, it looks extraordinarily dazzling.

Willow Village.Early in the morning, Mrs. Lu got up early and started to call little Mrs. Lu to get up and cook under the window with her hands in her sleeves. She also called Su Mei to feed the chickens and pigs. When breakfast was ready, Su Wenhai and Su Ran just got up.

After breakfast, Mrs. Lu drove Su Wenhai and Mrs. Lu to work in the field. Su Mei took Mrs. Su Qing to cut pigweed. Mrs. Lu was not idle, so she carried a basket and went to the field in front of the yard to pick them. Vegetables, only Su Ran in this family can sit idle on the kang in the house and embroider and do needlework.

Mrs. Lu had just instructed Su Ran to keep an eye on the door before going out. When she turned around, she saw an ox cart parked at the door. After a closer look, her eldest son and his family had returned, so she walked over and asked in surprise, "Isn't it a year or a day?" , why are you back at this time?"

Mrs. Liu and the children didn't speak, only Su Wenshan dragged her into the room and told the story.After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was shocked and said, "It won't hurt our family, right?"

Su Wenshan felt a little cold after hearing this, this is his own mother, not to mention caring about himself who is in prison, the first sentence is that he is afraid of being implicated!

Perhaps feeling the displeasure of the eldest son, Mrs. Lu hurriedly laughed and said: "Mother is not afraid of being troubled by you, but just afraid that the Zhu family will not let go of this matter. The Zhu family is a rich family in our town. People like us can't be provoked."

Su Wenshan nodded, "Mother, don't worry, the Zhu family probably won't come after us. Our steamed stuffed bun shop is sold out, so I just don't want to have anything to do with his family."

"What?" Mrs. Lu patted the table and stood up, pointing at her eldest son and said angrily, "You sold the bun shop?"

Su Wenshan nodded, and Lu's anger rose, "After you sold that bun shop, what will you eat and wear? Let me tell you, we have separated a long time ago. Your second brother and I Live, this house is also theirs, and the field is also theirs. Is your family going to drink the northwest wind when you come back? I also hoped that you could earn some money outside to support me in retirement. This is good, the money is not fished , and feed your family for nothing..."

"Mother, what do you mean by that? That shop was bought by the two of us with hard-earned money. Even if it is sold, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, we don't dare to expect you to help us. As for the pension money, you don't care. Don't worry, we will not give less than what we should give every year. We don't have any extra and can't take out what we shouldn't give now. Don't worry about having no land or land. We still have hands, and we will never starve to death. Even if you beg for food, you won't come to your door." Mrs. Liu came in from the outside, pulled Su Wenshan out in front of Mrs. Lu, "Don't weed the grass in the front yard, otherwise where will we live at night? I think Lai Niang will never let us live in this yard again."

In the past, every time I came back during the Chinese New Year, I didn't live for a few days at all, and I always lived in this courtyard.In fact, the two brothers have already separated their homes, and the front yard is where their big house lives, but they have never taken care of it for so many years, because after the couple sold the land and bought a shop in the town, I never thought that there would be a day when I would come back again, and now I really have no choice. I can't stay in the town for the time being, so I have to come back to live for a while.

Hearing that they were going to weed, Mrs. Lu hurriedly stopped them, "I've already planted vegetables in the front yard, so you can't move."

Can't move?Mrs. Liu was impatient, "Then please mother pull out all the vegetables."

"How can you pull it out? How can you eat those after pulling them out!" Mrs. Lu refused, but blocked the door to prevent them from going out.

Mrs. Liu laughed angrily, and went back to sit down, "Mother won't let us go, is she here to keep us for lunch? I just don't bother to cook, but those vegetable girls still have to be pulled out, as you said just now , we have separated a long time ago, the yard was allocated to us, it is our property, if mother does not pull it out, daughter-in-law will treat it as a gift from you, and at noon, pull it out and fry it. .”

When Mrs. Lu heard that she had no choice, she called Su Ran angrily, and took her to the front yard with a basket to pick vegetables. When she left, she did not forget to drive Su Wenshan and his wife out of the main room and locked the door.

In the front yard, Su Tang was leading his younger siblings to move things down. They had accumulated a lot of good things in the town over the years, and the Liu family was unwilling to give up anything, so they all moved here.

Mrs. Lu looked back frequently while picking vegetables, wanting to see what good things were in the big box, but the house was not cleaned up, and the box was not opened. The ashes came, and the mother and daughter of the Lu family sneezed.

"Mother, don't pull it out, why don't you just order this, and leave it to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat, anyway, they just came here and they don't have anything to eat." Su Ran frowned, looking at her dirty embroidered shoes, and said impatiently .

How can this work?Just as Mrs. Lu was about to shake her head, she saw her daughter cast a wink over her. She immediately understood, and patted herself on the head secretly. She was really an idiot. Look at their big and small bags, they must have brought back a lot. Things, if I treat them better, maybe Mrs. Liu will be able to share some with me once she is grateful.

Thinking of this, he stood up and called Su Wenshan, "Your little sister is right, you didn't have anything to eat when you first came here, and I will leave the rest to you."

When Liu heard this, she glanced at the vegetable field from a distance, and saw that there were only two sparse rows of leeks left on it.Su Wenshan, on the other hand, smiled happily, and hurriedly responded, "Hey, thank you mother, I will send over the things that honor you after we pack it up."
